In the real world: Ford Motor Co. said it will begin delivering 82 Ecostar electric utility vans to several companies, most of them utilities, in the U.S., Europe and Mexico this year. The vehicles, with a range of 100 city driving miles from their sodium sulfur batteries before needing a recharge, are on lease for 30 months as part of a "real-world" test.
